Abstract: The present invention is directed to a new assay procedure and improved solid phase assay devices for use with a so-called physical developer. The invention provides a new assay procedure for detecting the presence of an analyte in a fluid sample using a tracer having a metal label which signal is enhanced by applying a physical developer. The assay is performed with a device having a support for a test area and having attached thereto a binder specific for the analyte to be detected. The assay comprises the steps of directing the fluid sample and the tracer through a porous medium into contact with the test area at a controlled flow rate to allow binding of the analyte with the binder and the tracer to the analyte, directing a physical developer through said porous medium to amplify the signal generated by the tracer, and separating the device to allow the test area to be read. The invention further relates to devices and immunoassay test kits for carrying out the improved immunoassay procedure. A first device Figure 2 according to the present invention has a support 4 having upper and lower surfaces and a test area on its upper surface. A removable filter 3 overlies the upper surface of the support. A second device Figure 1 according to the present invention has a support 4 having upper and lower surfaces and a test area on its lower surface which is in contact with the absorptive layer 2.

Abstract: The device comprises inductance coils (6) which are each allocated to one phase and which are wound around a common magnetic core in the same direction and with the same number of windings. One each of the inductance coils (6) is connected to one each of the phase leads (3,5) for supplying the multiphase load (4), the connection being made in series between the converter (1) and the load (4). The load can particularly be a multiphase asynchronous motor. The inductance coils (6) and the magnetic core can be dimensioned equivalent to a power supply transformer adjusted to the frequency and rating of the converter (1), so that deficiencies in the electromagnetic symmetry of the load (4) are balanced, or, on the other hand, they can be dimensioned equivalent to a mains filter adjusted to the frequency and rating of the spikes of converter (1), in order to remove such spikes from the respective phase (3) of the power supply. In such case the inductance coil (6) comprises a central terminal (7) which is connected, via a capacitor (11), with a reference terminal (12) leading to a reference pole of the internal DC power supply of the converter (1), in order to transform the spikes within a ratio of -1:1 and to apply the transformed spikes to the reference terminal (12). Preferably, however, a further capacitor (13) is connected in parallel with each of the inductance coils (6), in order to adjust the resonant frequency of the inductance coil. An additional coil can be placed on the magnetic core, which may be used as the secondary of a power supply transformer.

Abstract: What is described herein is a precipitation polymerization process and terpolymer products produced thereby. Polymerization is carried out in a reaction mixture of a vinyl lactam, e.g. vinyl pyrrolidone or vinyl caprolactam, a polymerizable carboxylic acid, e.g. acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, and a hydrophobic monomer, e.g. lauryl methacrylate, in a predetermined compositional range, in the presence of a polymerization initiator, and in an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, particularly a C3-C10 saturated hydrocarbon, which is branched or unbranched, cyclic or acylic, and, preferably, is heptane or cyclohexane. The terpolymers are obtained in high yield, as a white powder, which can be filtered and dried easily.

Abstract: An apparatus for stripping the scrap portion from a die cut blank includes a stripper pin carrier providing a pattern of stripper pins supported in a resilient compressible material layer in which the stripper pins are demountably embedded. The stripper pins may be inserted into the reslient layer to provide a pattern or patterns which will accommodate virtually any size, shape and location of scrap portions to be stripped from a blank. The stripper pins can be removed and reinserted in a different pattern to accommodate a different run of blanks of corrugated paperboard or the like. Programmable robotic control may be used for pin placement and removal. The stripper pin pattern, location and rotation are synchronized with operation of the upstream cutting die such that the die cut blanks move continuously under the stripper roll for automatic scrap stripping. A unique positive stripping apparatus includes a resilient soft-covered roll beneath the blank at the point of stripping and into which the leading edge of the scrap portion is pressed by the stripper pins on the upper rotary pin-carrying roll. Supplemental indexing of the stripper pin carrier is utilized to assure fresh pin placement areas in the resilient material layer to eliminate inaccuracies in pin placement or poor pin retention because of material wear through repeated use.

Abstract: A ferromagnetic stator employed in a linear motor system is provided with a plurality of internal chambers interconnected to one another for the introduction of coolant to maintain the stator at a uniform temperature and to eliminate hot spots. The compartments (C1 through CN)are coupled to one another to permit free circulation of the coolant throughout the platen (12). This circulation is induced by heating of the coolant. Each chamber is connected to the adjacent chamber (or chambers) by at least two sets of openings (U,L) which respectively provide for communication of hotter and cooler coolant therethrough to facilitate passive cooling. As an alternative, in extreme cases, the coolant may be pumped through the platen compartments (C1 through CN) by an external pump. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Circuits for converting analogue RGB signals to analogue component signals are well known. Normally text signals are added to component signals in an analogue manner. Special problems may arise in case of upconverting such interlace video signals to a higher field frequency. Vertical jitter or unsharpness of the text can be introduced. In the RGB domain text signals can be represented by binarylike amplitude values (R, G, B). Therefore such text signals are generated digitally in the RGB domain and converted digitally to the component domain (Y, U, V). A simple circuitry, including three inverters (11, 12, 13), a latch (14) and two adders (15, 16), is required only. <IMAGE>
